But here is the joy, here is the peace of Christians, that our salvation is a finished one! We have not a farthing to pay
to complete the ransom of our souls. We have not a stitch to set to finish the robe of our salvation. We have not an act to
perform, a prayer to offer, a tear to weep, a thought to think in order to finish the work of our redemption! I know that all these things shall be worked in us and, that by the Spirit of God we shall be made to do them — but all that shall not
be with any view to the completion of our salvation — that was finished in the Person of the bleeding Lamb of Calvary! . . .

Either Christ completed all that
was necessary for your salvation, or he did not! If he did finish it, then rest in him and be glad, and say, "I am secure
forever because my salvation is finished. I have nothing to do but to live to the honor of him who has completely saved
me by his Grace, his blood, his righteousness.
